Hyderabad (Telangana) [India]: Labelling the Congress-JMM alliance as a “sinking ship”, Bhartiya Janata party National Spokesperson CR Kesavan on Monday said that the alliance is headed for a disastrous defeat in the upcoming Jharkhand elections.
Taking a dig at the opposition Congress-JMM allinace, Kesavan said that the people are fed up with the government’s misgovernance.
“The corrupt Congress-JMM government is a sinking ship which is headed for a disastrous defeat in the upcoming Assembly elections because of its blatant misrule. For the past 5 years in Jharkhand, this Congress-JMM caucus has been a fountainhead of anti-youth, anti-tribal, anti-Dalit and anti-people policies. Their misgovernance has been the worst nightmare for the people of Jharkhand. The people are fed up with this government and they have decided to get rid of this government in the upcoming Assembly elections,” BJP National Spokesperson CR Kesavan said.
Emphasizing on BJP’s manifesto for Jharkhand which promises to bring UCC for the tribal state, Kesavan said that the party will ensure to eradicate illegal infiltration from the neighbouring countries.
“The BJP manifesto which was released yesterday stands tall like a powerful beacon of hope…The BJP will ensure strong legislation to check the illegal infiltration which has endangered. The tribal community has been most affected by the JMM Congress vote bank politics,” Kesavan said.
Amit Shah yesterday released the BJP’s Sankalp Patra (Manifesto) in Ranchi and announced the party will implement Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in Jharkhand and will also “drive out infiltrators” coming from Bangladesh.
Outlining the 25 resolutions to mark 25 years of the state’s formation, Shah said, “Hemant Babu, a Uniform Civil Code will certainly be implemented in Jharkhand, but the identity and heritage of the tribal communities will be fully preserved.”
“Uniform Civil Code will be introduced in Jharkhand but the Tribal community will be kept out of the ambit of UCC,” he said.
The Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill was a proposal in India to establish uniform rules for personal matters for all citizens. These matters include marriage, divorce, inheritance, and property rights.
The UCC would apply to all citizens equally, regardless of their religion, gender, or sexual orientation. Elections for 81 seats in the Jharkhand Assembly will be conducted in two phases on November 13 and November 20, with the counting of votes scheduled for November 23.
